You can group together different search object connectors to search categories. Search categories allow users to narrow down their search by searching, for example, only in the "Business Partners" category. You can assign both search object connector models and search object connectors to specific search categories. By default, a search object connector inherits the categories from its model.

SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search already contains various predefined search categories.

You can create more search categories and delete search categories in the template modeler when creating search object connector models and in the administration cockpit
